I guess it was too subtle, then.

If you were to look for the name of the script, what search engine would be first on your list...

He did post the script sources some place.
It is all over the torrent and also links for scripts in the eReader forum.
People can use the same way on epub with the pdf.
I do not test it myself yet.

As mentioned in the pdf section there is now an automated inept epub script (ainept).

mobelby · 05-22-2009, 08:01 PM

A bit belated but many, many thanks from downunder to the king of cabbage.

I've been waiting to buy a certain book that's out of stock here in Australia and won't be in stock again until a new edition is released in September (ie four months away) as a tie in with a film release. I am also hoping to buy a new reader in June (at this stage the bebook mini or cool-er). What you have done is let me buy that book now (as an epub from one the UK ebook retailers) and read it on my PCs/netbooks etc and later I can reread it on whichever ereader I buy.

You are the biz

Thanks a million

The other day I bought an epub from penguin books, and just to see if I could, I tried these python scripts I found on the internet. And lo and behold, I now have a epub that has no drm and I can add it to my calibre library instead of just having it in Adobe Digital Editions.

I couldnt believe how easy it was to do.

You could have still added it to Calibre regardless of DRM.

halljames · 05-28-2009, 09:56 AM

Very true, I tried that, but then you can't read it using calibre, and I dont even know if you would be able to transfer it to my sony reader with calibre. I just thought, "get rid of the drm" and I can do what I want.

For those using Vista in any of it's many flavors you may get errors that look similiar to this:

This is the error message I got, in and ADEPT Key box:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "adeptkey.pyw", line 197, in main
retrieve_key(keypath)
File "adeptkey.pyw", line 139, in retrieve_key
vendor = cpuid0()
File "adeptkey.pyw", line 102, in cpuid0
cpuid0__(buffer)
WindowsError: exception: access violation writing 0x01A3E5F8

When I tried the second, I got:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "adeptkey.pyw", line 198, in main
retrieve_key(keypath)
File "adeptkey.pyw", line 140, in retrieve_key
vendor = cpuid0()
File "adeptkey.pyw", line 103, in cpuid0
cpuid0__(byref(buffer))
WindowsError: exception: access violation writing 0x019B1E30

This is DEP acting to keep your system safe from a program Vista has deemed rogue. DEP is data execution protection. You can find out more about it here: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...2f4bf1033.mspx

The solution is to tell the system you trust pythonw and python. It will then allow these scripts to run as they should. See my post here for how to do this, substituting pythonw.exe and python.exe as appropriate.

Finally a fix. I was having all those same errors on Windows XP. I allowed the DEP for python.exe and pythonw.exe and ran the scripts and low and behold it worked!

Now I feel better about buying epub books!

JSWolf · 06-16-2009, 09:50 PM

I have never had DEP on XP block anything I actually want to run. And under Vista, I have turned off UAC as it's useless to me. We have Vista on our laptop.

Wes · 06-19-2009, 02:47 PM

JsWolf,

Ok, thats great you turned of UAC, however, there are many out here that just might like to keep that extra layer of protection in place. DEP is a good technology, and if properly used will allow users of Vista to allow programs which were not designed to run specifically under Vista's new api to function correctly.

Actually, many turn UAC off prematurely when an exception made in DEP would allow an errant program to run just fine.

My advice to all would be to ALWAYS try an exception in DEP for an errant program before resorting to disabling of UAC. Just my two cents.

JSWolf · 06-21-2009, 07:54 PM

The way UAC is implemented in Vista is awful. It needs to be turned off to be able to use Vista without wanting to trash the computer. In Windows 7, UAC is still there, but it's not as annoying. It doesn't get so in the way. It is what should have been in Vista. In Vista, the easiest way to get Book Designer to work is to turn off UAC besides registering some OCX files. In Windows 7, I could just register the OCX files I needed and it worked.

Another reason could be if you activated the Execution Protection for all programs (and not only for the services).

I had a lot of problems after activating it for all processes (also games ...).

Change it under System Control -> System

JSWolf · 06-22-2009, 09:10 AM

Given that someday the laptop will be upgraded to Windows 7, I'll be fine with UAC off as I do know what I am doing there.
